    NSD for me today, number 11, after staying the night with a friend, should be okay for an NSD tomorrow then a birthday card on Monday...:)
  • Was doing so well this week and then Wednesday had to renew provisional licence, and yesterday I fell into M&S food en route home for a 'Friday treat'  :D  :#

    So an NSD for Thursday 11th April for me, and one for today Saturday 13th.  Think that takes me to 8.  Thanks so much @cathybird

  • Definitely not an NSD for me! 😳 I've ordered lots of plants for my ponds and things for my meditation garden - worth losing a NSD for 😉
    This garden sounds amazing!
    Will you be offering guided tours, or at least post a few pictures?

    It was a mistake to count grocery spends in this challenge with two adult sons home from Uni lol! Still, I'm claiming another today, and after a shop en route back to Uni for DS1 tomorrow (DS2 went back last week), I should be able to rack up a few more for the latter part of the month, though doubt I'll reach my target again this month. It's lovely to have them home, but I forgot just how much they eat!
